HIGH-TENSIQN CABLE.

VApplication led August 6, 1928, Serial No. 297,778, and in Germany September '5, 1927.

In high tension'cables metallic insertions are frequentl used, for instance for the purpose of pro ucing a certain potential dlstribution inside the insulation, more particularly when such cables are to be used as condensers. These conductive insertions must on the onehand be madel as-thin as possiblevso as not unduly to increasethe diameter of the cable, and on the other hand,

they must have a sufficient conductivity so as not to be excessively heated by the charging currents flowing throughlthem. Final ly the conductive insertions must allow 'the impregnating material to penetrate during the impregnating process.

The-present invention has for its object to provide a high tension cable in which the conductive insertions consist `of two metallized paper bands, the metallic surfaces of which face one another, and of a thin band of a good-conducting material lying between the said paper bands. The metallized papers shouldvbe perforated and are preferably wrapped on inthe same spiral wrapping by thesame machine as the band like paper insulation, the two vbeing preferably wrapped on in opposite directions. The

good-conducting band'may be made-of cop-I per and its thickness depends on the probable strengths of the loading currents, amountingin some cases to only a fraction of a millimeter. The width of the metal band will suitably be only a 'portion (for instance l) of the width of'the'metallized paper and the band is Wrapped'on with the same length of lay as the metallized paper so that the separate convolutions ofthe metal band do not abut against one another, va gap remaining between them for enabling 40 the 1mpregnating material to penetrate.

, In the accompanying drawing a constructional example of a lhigh tension cable is shown, in which a metallic insertion according to the present invention is used. On the insulating layer A' is wrapped a metallized paper band B; on the latter, wound to the same helix is a copper strip C of half the width of the metallized paper band and on the copper strip C, wrapped on in the opposite direction, is a strip of metallized paper D, the metallized surface of which faces the copper band C. O11 the band D are Wrapped further layers of insulation E.

What we claim is:

l. A high tension cable having between the layers of insulation two wrappings of metallized paper band, having the metallized surfaces facing one another, and between. the said metallized bands a wrapped on band of good-conducting material, as. and for the purpose set forth. 2. A high tension cable having between the layers ,ofv insulation two 'oppositely wrapped layers of metallized paper, having the metallized vsurfaces facing' one another, and between the said metallized bands va wrapped on band of-good-conducting material, as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A high tension cable having between Vthe layers of insulation Itwo wrappings of metallized paper band, 'ha ving the metallized surfaces facing one another, and between the said metallized bands a wrapped on band of good-conducting material, the width of which band is less than that of the metallized paper bands, as and for the purpose set forth. l

In testimony whereof we'have signed our names to this specification.
